In fact, Li Sanjie has never had much favorable feelings for intelligence personnel and intelligence organizations. Of course, Li Sanjie also knows that these intelligence personnel work for the country and are indispensable. Many intelligence personnel have sacrificed their lives and cannot be seen. It can be said that without their silent work, there would be no stable situation in China in the old time and space. However, in Li Sanjie's impression, intelligence agents are ruthless. In order to complete the task, they can sacrifice themselves. Therefore, in the old time and space, when Li Sanjie was working in the embassy abroad, he always stayed away from the intelligence personnel in the embassy, ​​and also recommended the work of cooperating with intelligence personnel.

However, when he saw Jiang Shiwei and his group come to Shanghai this time, Li Sanjie was eager to see it. It turned out that the situation in Shanghai has become worse and worse in the past few days. Now, not only are many newspapers in Shanghai maliciously attacking and smearing time travelers, but also small booklets, children's songs, etc. against time travelers. Although some newspapers also defended time travelers, the number was small and did not play much role.

Although there has not yet been any impact on the security of the Shanghai office, the number of visitors has decreased significantly. According to some students who are waiting for time travelers, some people are also promoting and attacking time travelers in schools, and many students believe these rumors, and almost every day people argue about topics about overseas Chinese. In addition, according to the secret whistle received by the Shanghai office, many people believe these rumors in various hotels and teahouses in Shanghai, and the remarks accusing overseas Chinese are also increasing.

The people in the entire Shanghai office couldn't help but be worried. If this continues and the public's grievances and resentment towards the Time Travel Group accumulate to a certain extent, the next step is to impact the Shanghai office. It was not until Jiang Shiwei and his group arrived that everyone calmed down a little.

As soon as he arrived in Shanghai, Jiang Shiwei and others immediately started their work. First, Jiang Shiwei followed Li Sanjie to protest at various consulates, took the opportunity to observe the attitudes of various countries, and arranged relevant personnel and young men to inquire about the news. At the same time, he also acquired all newspaper reports, brochures, children's songs and other materials related to time travelers.

Since professionals arranged tasks this time, they were very targeted and no longer boundless inquiries. Three days later, Jiang Shiwei and others received a large amount of feedback information. According to the staff of the Security Department, they can also obtain some useful information after clearing the information and summarizing it.

For example, through research on newspapers, we can confirm that the two tabloids that were published at the beginning were [Game News] and [Passage News], and then other newspapers followed up, and most of them were newspapers founded by foreigners. However, the larger and more influential newspapers in Shanghai, such as [Examination], [Zi Linhu News], and [News News] did not report articles that attacked the Time Travel Group. On the contrary, these newspapers have also commented on the Time Travel Group.

From a broad perspective, it seems that this is obviously driven by various countries. However, after careful analysis by the Ministry of Security personnel, most of the articles that attacked and smeared the Time Travel Group were not signed. Although a few were signed, they were not fixed editorial authors or special invited authors of various newspapers. Moreover, almost all the authors with signatures only published one article and did not make any sound. In this way, the people who manipulated this public opinion storm seemed to be intentionally confusing the public, induced the finger of the Time Travel Group to various countries, and provoking conflicts between the Time Travel Group and other countries. It can be said that they have good intentions.

On the other hand, it also shows that although the people who manipulated this public opinion storm were carefully planned and arranged in a comprehensive manner, they did not have enough experience, so a flaw was revealed in this small place. Although it was not enough to completely expose their conspiracy, at least some of them could not be presented.

At this time, the consulates of Britain, France and the United States also provided information to the office. Several foreign newspapers that had published were not conducive to the Travel Group. These articles were provided to these newspapers and paid a certain fee to be presented in the newspaper. It was not the original intention of these newspapers. Moreover, these newspapers also promised that they would never publish similar articles in the future.

It turned out that Li Sanjie warned Britain, the United States and France. Although it was just a false alarm, the consuls of Britain, France and the United States did not dare to be careless. After the three of them negotiated, they decided to understand what was going on first. So they warned several newspapers of their own country, asking them to stop publishing articles attacking overseas Chinese. Otherwise, even if it was a concession, it would be difficult to ensure their safety. They asked these newspapers to ask who were writing these articles and what their purpose was.

If it was in Britain, the United States and France, newspapers might ignore the warnings of newspapers. But now in China, these newspapers cannot ignore the situation in China. The xenophobic moves of the Boxer Rebellion and the strong rise of overseas Chinese all told these newspapers the truth about China. Moreover, this incident did not matter to these newspapers. Someone sent manuscripts and paid high fees to ask these newspapers to present them. In this era, this is also a very common thing. As long as you pay a certain fee to the newspaper, you can present articles at will. Although the editors of these newspapers have also read the content of the articles, they attacked and smeared overseas Chinese, and they didn't care, because the newspapers they worked for had no good feelings for overseas Chinese, so they would naturally be happy to give overseas Chinese some eye drops.

However, these newspapers have also realized the seriousness of the matter. Overseas Chinese are not comparable to the Qing court. Hasn’t the Tianjin Concession been completed? There are also Weihaiwei, Qingdao, and that concession from various countries. Is the result now? They are all occupied by overseas Chinese. Is the Shanghai Concession really safe? Therefore, these newspapers not only guaranteed the consulate that they will never publish similar articles in the future, but also revealed the causes and consequences of the whole incident. However, these newspapers cannot remember the appearance of the people coming, and do not know the origin.

Based on the information currently in hand, Jiang Shiwei can basically make a judgment that this public opinion storm should have nothing to do with the countries, but at least at the official level, such as the consulate and the concession's labor department did not participate, which is consistent with the objective situation of the previous division. After all, the top priority of all countries is to successfully negotiate with the Time Travel Group and restore the stability of the situation in China. There is no need to make other troubles at this time. Even if it is to make trouble, it should be after the negotiations. Of course, this cannot be said that the countries have nothing to do with this matter at all, and it is not ruled out that the intelligence personnel of various countries are secretly planning. Of course, Jiang Shiwei is more inclined to be another force.

Before coming to Shanghai, when Jiang Shiwei and Shang Qisong were discussing this public opinion storm, they made an assumption that this public opinion storm should have nothing to do with each country, but it is done by another force. This force may be related to one or two countries, or will depend on a certain country, but it is definitely different from each country. Now it seems that this assumption is very likely.

However, Jiang Shiwei also understood that this was just a hypothetical judgment that could not be used as a formal conclusion, because the lack of Guan Jianyi's evidence would be difficult to convince even if it was submitted to the Executive Committee. However, the power of the Time Travel Group in Shanghai is indeed very limited. The evidence that can be collected by conventional means can only reach this point, and it is difficult to have a qualitative breakthrough, unless it is used to use unconventional means.

Although the Executive Committee had approved the Security Department to use unconventional means before coming to Shanghai, and Jiang Shiwei had no psychological barriers to using unconventional means. In the old time and space, Jiang Shiwei had participated in several unconventional means action planning, but Jiang Shiwei was also very clear that unconventional means were the mainstream for an intelligence officer, but he should not abuse unconventional means too much, which would become a terror. Because it is the extreme practice of "it would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go" and it is even more undesirable. Therefore, when using unconventional means, you must have a certain degree of confidence or a major matter.

What effect can be achieved by using unconventional means in Shanghai this time? For example, kidnapped the editors of several newspapers and asked clues to the article staff. However, these editors may not have any impression of these people. In addition, although the other party lacks experience in doing things, leaving a small flaw, overall planning and action are still quite strict. Therefore, even if it is to arrest and interrogate people, it is probably not possible to ask any useful information.

Another thing is to evaluate the consequences of using unconventional methods. If they are done neatly and without leaving any traces, of course it doesn't matter, but if they are not done in detail and leave clues and are caught by others, it would be a big trouble. In the intelligence war in the old time and space, there was a tactic of tactics to capture the other party's actions and then poke them to the news media for hype and publicity. This will often make the opponent very passive, and sometimes even have to use the means of a hero cutting off his arm and sacrifice intelligence personnel in exchange for the initiative of public opinion.

Before coming to Shanghai, the Executive Committee asked the Ministry of Security not to expose its identity during the operation. If it was exposed, the Tianjin government would not admit it. This statement seemed ruthless, but it was indeed a true portrayal of the intelligence work.

Over the past few days, time travelers have investigated from multiple aspects, and the situation is definitely not small. If the other party intends to observe, some clues will be revealed. Maybe this flaw is that the other party intends to stay, which is to lure the time travelers to use unconventional means. The other party is acting secretly and captures the loopholes in the time travelers' actions. For example, the time travelers really kidnapped several newspaper editors and were stabbed to the press again by the other party, and even dispatched police in the concession to search. Once both people and dirty people were captured, the consequences would be much more serious than ordinary attacks and smears, so Jiang Shiwei did not dare to order the action easily.
